Oh, yeah.

Before we start, Julia brought up a very interesting point, and I don't want to save this to be our Easter donut.

Wait, who did?

Julia, my daughter.

Oh, okay, okay.

You remember her.

Julia.

She says, Dad, I like driving your car, the Kia Sorento.

I said, thank you.

It's a lovely car.

I'm very, very fond of it myself.

She says, but everybody has our car.

And I said, well, no, we just have our car.

This is our car.

She says, no, look around.

And we're in the parking lot of the Leesburg Outlet Mall, which is the seventh circle of hell for me.

I hate it.

I'm going to the outlet malls today.

In Leesburg?

No.

Bring a Mercedes or a Scimitar.

Or a machete, even.

Maybe I should say it right.

Because the crowds will be untenable.

Damn it.

But I begin to look around, and it's called the crossover. It's not a station wagon. It's not a sedan. I have a crossover. It's not a sport ute. It's a crossover. And it's black, and it is probably roughly 92% of the cars in the parking lot of the Leesburg Outlet Mall. Look around you, folks. Every car in the world. And I thought I was being so cool by buying a black crossover vehicle. But everybody's doing it. It's like having a denim jacket in 1986. Everybody has this car. I have a Subaru Crosstrek, which is the last car that we've added. I love that car. Yeah. Of course you love it. You know why? Because everybody loves it. Because everybody has one. Great. It's not too big. It's not too small. No, it's... And it's not like a station wagon. No, it's utilitarian. It doesn't have wood on the side, certainly. Not like the old days. It has a third row seat, but you can hide it. And it's so useful because everybody in the suburbs says, how big is it? Well, it's just big enough to put the back seat down and go buy a secondhand dresser that someone put on the Facebook site where you're selling used furniture. Well, can you move this rocker? Of course I can. I have a sport crossover vehicle. Pull the seat down. Where are you coming from? I'm coming from a prefab community. And what do you have? Well, look for me. I'm in a black vehicle. It's a crossover vehicle. How big is it? Well, I don't know. If you need to move a piece of plywood, we can fold the back seat down and it'll just fit. You need that really big trip to Costco? Well, of course I do. Put the seat down. We can put that big teddy bear in the back of my black sport utility vehicle. We'll take pictures. It'll be funny. That's right. We're going to Facebook it. And then don't forget, honey, tonight we bought roast beef at Costco. We need to Instagram our dinner. Hashtag crossover. Hey, I've got to go to the dealership. Why? I got a plastic liner for the back of my black sport utility vehicle. That way, if I spill something, it just wipes clean. I can buy commitment watermelons. Shut up. Don't talk watermelons. They're almost out of season. I went to Costco and bought a bag that had 18 watermelons in it the size of grapefruit. Where'd you put it? In the back of my black sport utility vehicle. I just put the seat down. Put the seat down. And don't forget that plastic tray. Hey, we're going to a birthday party with my son and some of his friends. How will we get them there? Take out the plastic tray and bring up the third row. That's right. Your black sport utility vehicle. Seat's nine. Everybody put on your seat belt. So if you're listening in your car. I just hit my microphone. I'm sorry. I ran right into it. Cake and Cookies Incorporated does not offer dental. But if you need to get to the dentist, I can be there in 20 minutes in my black sport utility vehicle. Buckle up. We'll go see Zoolander. Hey, I tell you what. Are you hot back there? Let me turn on the rear air conditioner. Zone cooling. Got to keep the watermelons cool somehow. I can't put them in the fridge until I get home. So. Can we start the show? I just need to say this. Okay. Please. Friends of mine. Dear considerate people. If you are listening in your car, look around you. How many black sport utility vehicles crossovers do you see? I bet you see four. Because they're everywhere. It's like the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The old one. They're like pods. And I'm not saying that these crossover vehicles, a la the Kia Sorento, which, by the way, sounds like someone who had a marvelous career in the Italian cinema. What's your name? My name is a Kia Sorento. Are you Italian? No, ironically, I'm Korean. But look around. Be not afraid. Because I don't think the black crossover vehicle. Kia Sorento. Kianti Saki, you've never had anything like it. I don't like hot wine. I'm not saying they're poised to take over or do damage. Just be aware. This is not like the watermelon situation. This is something that is way out of my control. This is not mangoes. This is not poison ivy. This is the fact that this happened around my ears and I did not realize it until my daughter told me so. She says, Dad, everyone has our car. I said, yep. I guess you're right. And so she's excited to get her PT Cruiser and put the fire on it. Because you know why? That's different. Safe. People will know her. But you know. They'll be like, that's Julia Spiwak. Don't you think maybe the PT Cruiser might have sort of started it? Because it's kind of station wagon-y and it's tiny. Make no mistake. Throwback. It is a throwback. It is a throwback. But it has no rear cooling. So I don't know how I'm going to get my watermelons cold. She's going to make you sit in the back seat and suffer. What happened to Dad? He's dead. How will we get him? We left him in the car at the mall. How will we get him to the crematory? No problem. Put him in the back of the key of Sorrento. We'll fold the seat down. Mike O'Mara, Radio Entertainment. Nothing to it. Can you see me in the back of a crossover? If you're like Huey Lewis in the news, then you better buy a Sorrento. Oh, boy. Okay. Put the plastic down. Put him in the tray. He's seeping fluids. Poor Dad. He's dead. Oh, here's Dude. He's alive. Cake and cookies. Rob and Katie. It's the Rob and Katie Show. What kind of car do you think Dude drives? Um, maybe a Nissan Rogue. Black. But definitely a crossover. Or a Nissan Juke. Definitely. The Juke. Yes. The Juke is the crossover. I think he drives like at 19. I think Dude drives a 1956 Chevy Bel Air. Perfectly restored. You know, with a voice like that, Dude could drive a pink Cadillac. That's true. You know what, dude? No, I know what car Dude has. The car from the opening credits of, uh, what's the Mark Wahlberg show? Pulp Fiction? No, no, not Pulp Fiction. The HBO show that Mark Wahlberg, Entourage. Oh. He drives the Entourage car. The HBO three weeks ago. So, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Oh, yeah. Start with Fraggle Rock. No, I remember that from, it's on TV. It was an HBO show. I remember watching that as a kid. Sure. I thought that was on Nickelodeon. It might have gone to Nickelodeon, but it started on HBO. Home box office. I like the Doozlers. Doozers. Doozers. Do you remember Trash Heap? Yes. The Trash Heap was very wise. Yes. Was it Go Boat? Getting out to the Trash Heap to talk to the Trash Heap was hard because of the dog. And the, no, the dog traveled with traveling Matt. The Trash Heap was guarded by the big, tall, there was the king and the queen. Oh, the ogre thing. The ogres, right. Probably inspiration for Shrek. Likely. No original ideas in Hollywood. But the Doozers would build their structures and the Fraggles would eat the structures. It was sort of a symbiotic relationship. Yes. In the little caves. Yes. Underneath the little store. The dwellings. Oh, and the dog was not with traveling Matt. The dog was in the, was it like a store that sold antiques and notions? God, now I have to, got to use the Google machine. Yes. Get on your computing machine. Meanwhile, let me set the table. Today, as we record, is the second day of September. And everybody is driving a black crossover vehicle. And by the way, I think dark green, all manner of dark colors count. If it's dark blue, dark green, maroon, you're all part of the problem, not the solution. But I do love my car. The mileage is marvelous. And a great sound system. And I've, oh, and I've figured out the thing where I can text by just hitting a button on the dashboard and talking to the dashboard. It's very nice. Oh, that's cool. It was a bakery. What? No, no, no. You are thinking of. Oh, no, that's in France. You're thinking of the facts of life. Edna's Edibles. Let's see. It's filmed in Toronto. Yeah. Oh, Doc was an inventor. And the dog was Sprocket. Sprocket, of course. Yes. Throw your cares away. Troubles for another day. Let the Fraggles play. Down in Fraggle Rock. Down in Fraggle Rock. Down in Fraggle Rock. And then the. How off was our. It was all right. I always forget that I have a delay. But then there was the clinically depressed Fraggle. And the one that was, he was bipolar or something. And he went like, down in Fraggle Rock. There was a. Okay. So there's the doozers. Yes. The gorgs. Gorgs were the ogres. Right. And gorg could probably. I was thinking it's an anagram. It's not. Silly creatures of outer space. Oh, that's what they mean by puppets. Not puppets. People. What? We'll start the show in a minute, folks. I thought we already did. We did. I remember I talked a lot about automobiles. Because that's my passion. Yes. It's strange. It's strange. I can't find a. I can't find a character list. Well, I. Let's see what I can remember. There was. Gobo was the head. Like the protagonist. Gobo was like the main dude. The protagonist. Red. Red. Was that the female. Very optimistic one. The pigtails. Yeah. Kind of a problematic Fraggle. There's the sad. And then there's the. Was it Boozer? Like the hippy dippy one. Was there a Boozer? Where are you? That was. Was that what I was thinking with Boozler? With the Doozlers? Maybe you combined them. But no. But definitely the Doozlers built the stuff that they ate. Fraggle rock characters. See, this is sort of happening because Jim Henson's back in the news because there's now the new Kermit voice this week. Did you hear that? I didn't hear it. Yeah. Boober. Boober. Here you go. See, but you're thinking dirty. Okay. So there is. Since it was an HBO show, did Fraggle rock have any nudity? And I don't think they don't. They're clearly not wearing pants. Yeah. No felt
